Boyd's Dairy Store (Demolished)

-A A +A
c. 1965. Northwest corner Duff Ave. and Main St.

The tradition of roadside architecture is here carried on into the 1960s. The small white building boasts a band of signs advertising its wares—ice cream, milk, malts, shakes, and cones. To reinforce the image of these products, a large ice cream cone is poised over the entrance and a calm cow stands on top of the multiple-pole sign.
